I read a lot I don't post much because I feel like a peon of keyboard knowledge compared to most people on here, I think I have 10X more PMs then I have post Don't want to fill his topic with how little post I have let's see more pictures!

This is my Florida gumball machine. It is from the early 1960s. These were very common back then in West-Germany. (Only heared that, I'm not so old).Due to the american influence in West-Germany people here started to love chewing gum and other american sweets. The people throw in 2x 10Pfennig (pre Euro) and got three stripes of Florida chewing gum.

I bought it some time ago on ebay. It has still its original paint and decals and is in very good working condition. Currently it's filled with Wrigleys.For me, this is not only a piece of old metal, it's more a piece of history.

Send her to her room and make her type on "The lazy brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" a thousand times on one of your boards. That'll teach her.

Its funny you mention that. I was watching her play some Lol the other day and noticed that she only uses her pointer fingers when she types. I asked her is she knew how to type correctly? She said that she was taught at school, but that she is better with the hunt and peck. I immediately made her stop playing and had her type that sentence over and over. 30x with fingers, and 30x touch type. She was faster with the pointer fingers, but that was because she can't type the other way.

Set her up on Type Fu. She was at 10wpm with under 50% accuracy . Part of the problem is that she stares at her fingers while she types. She has got a bit of practice ahead of her.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
